We know the Insighters are nuts about gas milage, but this idea is very practical. One of the Insighters over at InsightCentral.net posted up a solar powered vent van DIY. Here it is http://fungiart.com/insight/solarfans.html
Steven,
I went right past this post the first time around since the whole solar fan thing always seemed like such a corny idea. I've got to say that this article goes way beyond what I expected to see. This guy takes modifications to a whole new level. Running new wires; splicing connections, installing toggle switches.
Interesting read, although I don't think I have the guts to mess with the electrical system at this point.
You "should" be able to go to Radio Shack or similar and buy a stand alone solar charger equipped with its own battery etc so you won't have to tap into the cars harness and cause "harmness" :unsure: Ok sorry couldn't help that pun.
I might even look into something like this for the HCH.
Efficient drivers do it better. 1003 miles a tank personal record. 74MPG calculated. HCH1 CVT
Steve and Eric,
I do need to look into the actual details, but after reading Wayne's post in the staying cool section, I have decided to put a cooler in the trunk and run air through it to cool the car...comments?
Cheers,
Steven
